"Convicts to Australia" Free transport to Aus!!!! "Convicts to Australia" Foreigners (and even some Australians) have a misconception about Australia’s convict past. No need for a visa. Steal an orange from a tree, pick up vegetables intended to feed the landowners’ sheep steal a loaf of bread for your hungry child or a garment to keep your old mother warm – better still – defy the authority - and receive seven years to life as a convict transported to Australia – with a work permit (hard labour).
